J.T. Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 CONGRATS ON BEING AWESOME WITH A GUN WHERE ONE FUCKING HIT BASICALLY PUTS YOUR OPPONENT ON DEATH'S DOOR, GUARANTEED, JT, GODDAMN YOU. Show no mercy. - Lord Shaxx While other players were all WAH~! THIS BOUNTY IS TOO HARD~!, I took my lumps and got my Void Damage murdering done and I did it without a Void Damage primary weapon (I did my dirty with Void Damage shotgun / machine gun). I have earned the right to be a douchebag in the Crucible by shooing people in the head with my evil Hive-corrupted hand cannon. Once I get my Blink / Slide / Shotgun skills back up to par (A perishable skill. I've run Gunslinger exclusively for a long time.), I really will be that typical Crucible asshole you love to hate. TBH, I actually do better in PvP with TLW. Your Nightfall of the week is Omnigul with Arc, Juggler and Lightswitch. Possibly as retribution for me mocking the past 3 weeks worth. Thralls pretty much one hit you with arc and lightswitch and I'm not sure if Omnigul is worse with no burn or just arc burn. Either way there won't be as much running around and dicking about this week. Figures. My new Bladedancer is armed with Oversoul Edict, P&T, and Thunderlord and my ability to get on the internets is zilch since I am between domiciles right now.

Basara Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Did the usual Tuesday night ritual of 3 Nightfalls and 3 Crotas. We tried the Saint-14/Shotguns tactic on the first run. Worked surprisingly well at first, we took her down to less than half health and then....a Cursed Thrall wandered in and it turned into a shambles. We managed to recover it from the side room, which is were we safely did the other 2 nightfall runs from. 3 Crota runs went pretty smoothly, got my second Crota kill as a swardbearar. I'd have had him on the first try but i got greedy and tried to down him with 3 uses over 2 swords. Knocked it out the second time playing it safe with 4 uses on 2 swords. I got my 4th No Land Beyond aka free exotic shard from Crota and my 2nd Ghorn from Ir Yut! I wont be sharding that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 The last time Omnigul was the Nightfall - a cursed thrall was our doom right as we were dropping that bitch Omnigul Of all the times I almost flung my game out the window, that was the most rage quitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily it only killed 2 of us and the survivor was a Titan, Managed to retreat, charge, and pop a bubble over our still warm bodies and we ran and hid like scared little girls. The amount of times they've been our end in Crota hard mode. Its all going well, we take care of the Ogres, step out of the room and ones just sitting around the corner as a giant 'fuck you'.

RIPPA Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 For those that didn't see - Update 1.2 hist tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Looks like the update is being delayed Good morning, Guardians (or afternoon or evening, wherever you are). I've spoken with the finest minds at Bungie about Update 1.2.0 just moments ago. They're working to correct a late-breaking technical issue that would have impacted the way the game launches for a large portion of you. Progress is being made. We'll be sharing new details on the deployment schedule that leads to House of Wolves as soon as they become facts. At the very least, you'll hear from me once a day about this. Hang in there, and thank you for your patience. DeeJ, out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glfpunk Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 For all the crucible heads here, I think this update is the one that doubles the crucible marks earned for each match played which is pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 It is - plus it adds all the maps (so the Xbox folks finally get that one map that was a PS exclusive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glfpunk Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Cool, now you can feel our pain whenever that POS map loads up on the strike playlist. What will be worse is if they put it in the nightfall rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 According to the Weekly Update - Bungie hopes to put out the 1.2 Update today but it is still up in the air. The decision will be made this AM (bungie time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I did my first Daily Heroic yesterday. Other than getting some Helium Filaments, the engram from Cryptarch was especially insulting (Level 16 Gauntlet, only 3 light max). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Patch Notes 1.2.0 : The one to pre-load House of Wolves Destiny Expansion II will change the way we all play and upgrade our characters.

Basara Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Yeah any purple and blue engrams you get from today that wont decode contain HoW stuff and will work on the 19th. Those Queen bounties really added something tonight. I've never seen so many people on patrols doing the same thing. We had a fireteam of 3 hunting them down and 4 more randoms with us that joined along the way. We had a couple of real great outings. The Vex public event started just as we'd finished one, scrambling around trying to get the chest and defend against wave after wave of Vex. My favorite was the one that hit seconds after an enemy movement, which brought out Urzok. This would be the most fun ever if every public event was as chaotic as that. Did a Vault and Crota hard mode, it doesn't even matter what else i got. Fatebringer. Finally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 FYI you can double dip the ether chests if you're quick enough. Take the loot, leave the area, then immediately go back to the chest and you get more loot. Presumable you could pull this off up to 3 times if you 1) find the chest fast enough and 2) the changeover to the next area is close enough. I did it at the Ember Caves. Didn't find the chest at the Citadel fast enough to test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Okay... 1st time I pulled it off going from Ember Caves to the Citadel. I just tried it going from the caves to the Headlands, but it didn't work. However a public event was starting just as I got back over there, so that might've caused the chest to despawn. Not sure. Still had 40 seconds on the key timer.

Basara Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 People are also reporting that they are getting Prison of Elder treasure keys out of these Ether Chests. The keys are used to open chests after finishing the Prison of Elders arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 And as luck would have it, a severe thunderstorm has spun up out of nowhere, giving me constant brownouts. Watch Bungie have this hot fixed before my internet stabilizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 The Queen's Wrath bounties and the related public events (basically lengthier, more challenging versions of the old Blades of Crota events) are available now. Apparently some HoW items like Prison of Elders treasure keys and Trials of Osiris passages are dropping also, maybe on purpose, maybe on accident. Or at least they were until PSN went down!
